Most Memorable Race:

The 2023 Patagonia Marathon is definitely my most memorable because of the running friends I went with, the stunning setting (snow-capped mountains in the background of the entire course!) and the extraordinary thrill of winning a race on the other side of the world!

Running Start:

I started my running journey on the first day of high school. My brother had just graduated and raved about the Sandburg cross country and track teams, so I figured I'd give it a shot after having played soccer for eight years. The first two weeks were a slog, but I quickly got a hang of it and fell in love with the sport of running. Joining that team was easily one of the best decisions I've made.

Fun Facts:

  • I slipped into a poolside cactus during a family vacation in Arizona when I was five years old.

  • I coach a high school cross country and track & field team.

  • Lavender is my favorite color, and I'm a little too obsessed (phone case, headphones, key chain, etc. are all shades of purple).

Most Memorable Race:

Chi Town Half 2023. "Freebird" blasted into my AirPods in the final stretch which immediately brought tears to my eyes, with the shock of finishing in the 1:27s.

Running Start:

I started running to stay fit in high school, but keep running for mental clarity. Running is a moving meditation for me and racing/running fast is the only time my brain fully clears.

Fun Facts:

  • My 2 kids still ask if I will or have won every race i run.

  • My favorite place to run is on Marco Island when I'm visiting my parents.

  • I make friends with all the animals I see on the trails, I've even seen what i think was a fawn being born (thanks to a friendly walker).

Track or Trails?:

Track for speedwork, trails for easy runs
